First Bus introduces improvements for 6 million Bradford customers

First Bus is introducing changes to selected Bradford services from Sunday 18 May.

These are focused on improvements to punctuality for more than six million customers a year, to deliver a better journey experience and help attract more passengers.

Here are details of the key elements:

612 – frequency will be increased with services to Shipley only to replace journeys currently operated on the 613/614 services.

613/14 – this will operate between Bradford and Buttershaw only.

642 – a new service to Fagley operating every 20 minutes, replacing the existing 686/687 journeys.

686-688 – these will operate between Bradford and Brighouse only.

Michael Moore, Head of Network for First Bus in West Yorkshire, said: “This combination of changes will remove cross-city journeys to help avoid delays as a result of traffic conditions at either end of a long route.”

Other services with timetable changes for better punctuality and some including adjustments to frequency are: 608, 617, 618, 620, 621, 640, 641, 645 and 680.
